April 27th - Opening Day. We will be
ready to sell our herbs and perennials. Spring is finally
here - time of growth. During this season you will find
wonderful plants here at the Wooden Shoe plus a shop filled
with interesting accent pieces for your garden, deck or
patio. We open at 10 a.m. Welcome to a new year here at
the farm.

May 11th and 12th - 10 a.m. -
5 p.m. Spring Open House. We are getting ready
for Mother’s Day here at the farm. Come and buy
something for your mom and bring a friend.

The Spring Open
House is just in time for Mother’s Day. Last year
we saw a lot of new customers and we are going to do it
again this year - our ninth annual spring open house.
Come and enjoy. A wreath, swag or arrangement of dried
and preserved flowers will be a lasting gift. These arrangements
last and last without any care. Or a beautiful plant,
like a rosemary or a tree peony. These gifts are all expressions
of love for that special person in your life. This year
we have added some new products to our bath and body section.
We have a wide selection of gel candles, creams, linen
sprays and bath salts.

June - October - Farmers'
Markets at Dimondale, Allen Street and East Lansing.

We have been participating
in the Mason Holiday Craft Show for over 25 years. It
is time for you to buy those Christmas gifts for teacher,
office workers or friends. The maps will be available
here and will be posted on this website once we get closer
to the actual date. We have 15 houses participating with
a variety of crafts. A fun time to become familiar with
the farm if you have never been here.

November
23rd and 24th - Christmas Open House.

We will have available a variety of fresh
greens. Kissing Balls, Swags, Arrangements and Wreaths
made especially for the Christmas season. Make it a tradition
to stop and see what the Wooden Shoe has to offer you
for the holidays. You will not be disappointed in the
selection and prices.

Advent Wreaths
- For the past few years, we have had an advent wreath
class on the Saturday before advent. The advent wreath
is an old fashioned way of celebrating advent. The wreath
is made up of juniper and herbs with four candles, three
purple and one pink. Some ornamental herbs are also used
to give some color to the wreath. Last year we again accepted
special order requests. Call and order your special advent
wreath for your home or church. The price is $28.

December
1st - Closed for the season.

TALKS throughout
the year - I give talks to varying clubs and
organizations. If you would like me to do a presentation
for your club, please contact me
for fees, times and dates.
